October 5,1995 Western Carolinian News Mountain Heritage Day: f A Bunch of Happy People' by Walter Westerberg Contributing Writer The 21st annual Mountain Heritage Day held on Saturday, September 28, attracted its largest crowd ever, according to event chairman Don Wood. While the exact numbers are not known, early estimates indicate a crowd of 35,000-40,000 attended the annual festival. There were many firsts at this year's festival,, including live television broadcasts by Asheville's WLOS-TV. The station aired four morning segments from the celebration live via satellite. Bea Henslcy, master blacksmith, was presented with the 1995 Mountain Heritage Award on Saturday, Sept. 30, at the 21st annual Mountain Heritage Day on Western Carolina University's campus. WCU Chancellor John W Bardo presented the award to Hensley's nephew, Landon Hensley, on behalf of his uncle. Bardo said, "Today we recognize a truly outstanding artisan whose art and technique stem from ages past and whose virtuosity bears the mark of one of America's best- known heroes. Bea Hensley learned his craft from Daniel Boone VI, a direct descendant of the famous frontiersman." Hensley, unable to attend the ceremony on WCU's campus, was at the White House in Washington, D.C., where he was honored with a 1995 National Endowment for the Arts National Heritage Fellowship Award. Hensley, the son of a Baptist preacher, was born Dec. 9, 1919, in Higgins Creek, Tenn., but his family moved to Burnsville in 1923. Hensley became acquainted with forge operator Daniel Boone VI, and began an apprenticeship with him. Boone familiarized Hensley with the anvil, forge, and other tools of the blacksmithing trade. Hensley also learned McAbee Tells Us Where Parking Fines Go? by Shelley Eller Staff Reporter One of the long-standing complaints of students at WCU is the hassle of parking tickets. One of the protests heard most often is the inability to find adequate parking, therefore prompting illegal parking. Students also question where the money goes after parking tickets are paid. WCU collected $156,546 from parking tickets and towing fees in the 94-95 year. Where did this money go? Did it pay for the new sculptures on campus or the renovations to the football stadium? According to WCU Public Safety officials, the answer is no. Gene McAbee, Director of Public Safety, stated that money from parking citations go into an auxiliary trust fund in which there are legal limitations. "Money can only be used for repair and maintenance of parking facilities, construction of new facilities, and the purchase of land for facilities," McAbee said. According to Public Safety statistics, 22,959 citations were issued in 1994 of which 5,000 were waived. In 1994, 92 vehicles were towed on campus, each costing a fee of $40. Inquiries have been made about whether the money paid for the new signs oni campus."No," said McAbee,"but the money did help pay for road signs and one-third of the cost of the new information booth on campus, which exceeded $30,000." Contrary to popular belief, the registration fees and parking situation in general is favorable compared to other universities in the state. At ASU in Boone, some students have to board the Applecart, a shuttle bus which transports students to campus from far away lots. While vehicle registration costs $17 per year at WCU, it is as expensive as $290 for students at UNC-Chapel Hill. McAbee stated that money for construction and maintenance of parking lots comes from state funds and tax dollars. Money from parking tickets is not needed, he said. the ancient "hammer language," a form of communication between the blacksmith and his assistant based on the rhythm of rapidly striking hammers. Hensley learned blacksmithing as the craft was being transformed by modern inventions. Much of the old-time blacksmithing craft centered around hardware used in agriculture, but automobiles and tractors began to take the place of draft horses in the early 1900's. Blacksmiths who chose to keep the tradition alive found a demand for their services in ornamental ironwork rather than utilitarian blacksmithing. After WWII, Hensley worked to complete a restorative ironwork project for Colonial Williamsburg, Va., in Boone's Spruce Pine forge. Hensley bought the Spruce Pine forge in the early 1950's. His son, Mike, became his apprentice and is still a partner in Hensley & Son Forge. Hensley's work is on display at the North Carolina Museum of History and the Smithsonian Institute. He has been featured in numerous publications, including National Geographic and Southern Living, and was honored in 1993 with a North Carolina Folk Heritage Award. Hensley is the 20th recipient of WCU's Mountain Heritage Award, which reflects outstanding contributions to the preservation or interpretation of the history and culture of Southern Appalachia, or outstanding contributions to research on, or interpretation of, Southern Appalachia issues. Award winners are chosen by a special committee. The Mountain Heritage Day Committee also honored Junctta Pell with the Eva Adcock Award for service to Mountain Heritage Day. Pell is a retired Jackson County home extension agent who coordinated the food fair for many years. Information provided by O.P.I- ^
